A few days ago, I received notice from Danny O'Keefe's website (Dannyokeefe.com) that his new album, "In Time", is finally completed and available through the website. This album has been in the works for at least three years. In fact, he previewed some of the new songs at his October 2006 concert in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin (see October 23, 2006 post). He also has a myspace page that is currently offering four of the new tracks for your listening pleasure.
Danny O'Keefe is truly one of the great American songwriters. Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Judy Collins and, yes, even Leo Sayer - don't snicker, his version of "Magdalena" was actually very good! - would attest to that.
Based on the four offerings, he sounds in fine form, as usual. If you enjoy these (and the new album), search out the earlier DOK titles which are currently available from Wounded Bird Records.
Check out Danny's myspace page (and the previewed audio files) at: http://www.myspace.com/dannyokeefedotcom.
